VESSEL FOR DISPENSING LIQUIDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 608,501, dated August 2, 1898.

Application filed February 15,1898. Serial No. 670,394. (No model.)

'T0 a/ZZ whom #imag/concern:

Beit'known that I, ERNEST WOLF, a citizen (Brooklyn,) Kings county, State of New York,

have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Vessels for'Dispensing Liquids, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to improvements in vessels for dispensing'liquids. I

The objects of myinvention are to provide a vessel for dispensing liquids which will be capable of performing its function in the most eflicient manner and whichl can be easily manufactured, toprovide'a device of the character described that will consist of the fewest number of parts and one in which the parts may be readily assembled and separated, and to provide-a dispensing vessel that is particularly adapted for use in connection with gaseous liquids, vsuch as champagne, mineral waters, dac., whereby the said gas may be prevented from escaping from the vessel while the same is being emptied, and, further,

to provide a vessel of this character which is especially adapted for dispensing such liquids as leavea sediment, such as old port-wine, whereby the said liquid may bev withdrawn from the vessel without disturbing the sediment therein; and my further object is to provide a vessel of the character defined which will be readily portable and'will not 'only be durable in construction but neat in appearance. l

With these objects in viewimy invention consists in the novel construction and details thereof, as hereinafter' described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Y Figure l is a side elevation'of my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the rotatable holder for the glasses. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the upper portion of the device, partly in elevation. fication. Washer. y l A y Referring now to the drawings, in which the same referencecharacters'designate the same or corresponding parts in all the views, I have Fig. 4 is a detail view of a modi- 5o shown my invention as applied to a bottle,

though it is to'be Aunderstood that it may be Fig. 5 is a detail view ofy the fleXible applied to any suitable vessel without departing from the spirit of my invention.

The letter A indicates a bottle which is provided with a shoulder or rib B, serving as a bearing or support for a rotatable glass-holder C. This glass-holder may be made of any lsuitable forln andl material for supporting a `plurality of glasses thereon.

In the construction shown in Figs. l and -2 this glass-holder consists of an outer wire ring` G and an inner bearing-ring D, thelatter of which is' adapted to fit the top of the bottle and rest upon the shoulder B, upon which it is mounted so as to be capable of turning freely thereon. Gonfined between these two rings is a series of smaller rings c, which serve to support the glasses la.

To the neck a of the bottle Yis secured a suitable neck E, preferably of metal, having a downwardly-extending iiange e', which is permanentlysecured to the bottle-neck by a suitable cement b, such as plaster-of-paris, while extending upwardly from said neck E is a flaring lip or flange e, adapted to form a funnel to permit the easy filling of the bottle'.

The cylindrical portion of the neck is screwthreaded for the reception of the perforated screw-threadedy nipple 'f' on the chambered top F, which is shaped externally to conform to the inner contour of the funnel e and provided with an outwardlyprojecting angef", adapted to rest in contact with the top of said funnel when the parts are in operative position, thereby closing the mouth of the bottle.

Proj ecting' from the upper part of the chambered top is preferably a screw-threaded boss or nipple f, serving as a means of attaching the handle G, by which the bottle may be carried.

Extending through a hole in the upper part of thel chambered top is a discharge-tube, the lower end of which terminates slightly above the bottom of the bottle and the 'upper end bent downwardly, forming a discharge-nozzle h. Y

Attached to the chambered top is an lairbulb I, provided with a suitable air-inlet valve l, said bulb communicating with the interior chamber of the top by means of the perforated nipple 'L'.

In order to cifectually seal the bottle, I pref- IOO erably provide a fian ged washer made of a thin sheet of flexible material, as rubber, the eylindrical portion of said washer S being confined between the nipple f and the interior of the neck E, while the flange 3 of said washer is confined between the funnel e and the chanibered top, thus effectively sealing the bottle. The external flange f, overlapping the top of the funnel, forms a breakpoint and, acting in conjunction with the washer, makes the seal effectual.

lVhcn the parts are in the position shown in Fig. l and it is desired to fill one or more glasses, the glass-liolder is rotated by hand until a glass is brought underneath the nozzle 71, au d the air-bulb is then compressed,wliereby the pneumatic pressure above the surface of the liquid in the bottle forces some of the said liquid out through the discharge-tube 7i to the glass, and when the latter is lled another glass is brought into proper position by rotating the glass-liolder as before.

The glass-liolder maybe made in a variety of ways, that shown in Fig. 2 being an inexpensive form for holding the glasses of the kind shown in Fig. l, and I have shown in Fig. 4- one modified form of holder adapted to hold glasses of different sizes and forms. In this form of holder an outer band C' is connected to an inner band D' by means of a bottom K, thus forming an annular trough upon the bottom of which the glasses are supported. The walls C and D may be connected by suitable partition-rods c', if desired, and the holder thus constructed is mounted upon the bottle or other vessel in the mannei shown in Fig. l, the inner band l`)' serving as the bearing or guide.

The rib or shoulder l is preferably made integral with. the bottle; but it is obvious that such shoulder lnay be formed of a separate band fastened to the bottle or vessel.

ly the use of my invention liquids, particularly of the character specified, may be dispensed at long intervals out of the same bottle without losing any of the gas required to make them palatable, and by combining the rotating glass-holder with the bottle having the siplion top l form a wine and liquor set which can be easily and coiiveniciitl y carried about for dispensing several glasses from the bottle at intervals.

l claim as my inventionln a device for dispensing liquids, the combination of a portable vessel, a glass-liolder rotatably mounted thereon, a dischargetube extending into the vessel and having a downwardly-extending nozzle under which glasses in the holder may be brought, and pneumatic means for forcing the liquid from the vessel through said discharge-tube, substantially as described.

2. In a device for dispensing liquids, the combination of a bottle having an external shoulder, a glass-holder rotatably supported on said shoulder, a discharge-tube extending into the bottle and having a nozzle extending downwardly, so as to discharge the liquid from the bottle into a glass on the holder, and an air-bulb in communication with the bottle above the surface of the liquid, substantially as described.

3. The combination with the bottle, of a neck having an upwardly-exten ding lip adapted to act as a funnel, and a downwardly-extending flange attached to the bottle, a chambered top provided with an extension for a handle having a screw-threaded engagement with the neck and seated in the funnel, a discharge-tube extending through said top into the bottle, and an air-bulb communicating with the internal chamber of said top, substantially as described.

4C.
